In this sermon, Charl looks at the powerful moment from Luke 23:39–43, where Jesus offers paradise to a criminal in His final hours. This message reminds us that the hope of Christmas isn’t just found in a manger — it’s revealed through God’s forgiveness, grace, and pursuit of every person.

We learn that:

God has been pursuing humanity with love and hope from the very beginning.

Jesus’ offer of forgiveness is available to everyone — even in our darkest moments.

Each of us must choose how we respond to Jesus: rejection or faith.
